Cost‐effectiveness of a hypothetical assay to evaluate stored blood quality prior to transfusion
Abstract Background and Objectives Unsuccessful red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, necessitating unscheduled repeat transfusion, is common and costly. Several technologies have been developed to assess stored blood quality, but the potential cost‐effectiveness of pretransfusion testing versus no testing to prevent unscheduled re‐transfusion is unknown ...
